Description

Samsung NBA Summer League tips off Friday, July 11, at the Cox Pavilion and Thomas and Mack Center on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas marking the 10th time the event will be held in the desert. For the second time in the event's history, a tournament-style format will be utilized to crown a champion.

Since its inception in 2004, when the event featured six NBA teams (Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Denver Nuggets, Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns and Washington Wizards) playing a 13-game slate, the league has grown exponentially in all areas. Last summer, new all-time marks were set in multiple areas, including: attendance (62,000-plus over 11 days); games played (61) and number of live NBA TV broadcasts (38).
